I think I have made some progress with this issue. Check the following screenies:

The problem is due to the extra layer of lighting effects that are applied to the ships. When you disable "USE SHIP NORMAL MAPS" this layer is turned off and the crawlies are gone.

THEREFORE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO A LACK OF ANTI-ALIASING OR LOW RESOLUTION. Check the wires in the mast rigging. Anti-Aliasing is working beautifully.

So dont run out and buy new monitors folks. What we have here is a bugged game 3D engine or bugged ATI drivers.

Unfortunately there is a hitch. This "fix" or "workaround" only applies to the ships. Your own sub does not seem effected (crawlies still exist).

What we need are the talented modders out there to help us with the scene.dat file and tweak it to remove the offending lighting layer.

Thoughts?
